The team's championship banners and retired jerseys were covered with massive pictures of Clippers players in a move Clippers Coach Doc Rivers said would showcase his team's top players during its home games.

Of course, it also happens to obscure the Lakers' storied past.

"Oh, that's disrespectful," said Young, who has played for both teams. "We've got to talk to Doc. He can't have that. We've got to do something about that."

Their first chance comes in their opener Oct. 29 against the Clippers, which will be a designated Lakers home game. The first time the teams will play with the Lakers' banners covered will be Jan. 10. Mark it down.

"That's their court at that time," D'Antoni said. "So, yeah, I probably wouldn't have Lakers stuff overhead if it's my court. So I don't blame [Rivers]."

Young apparently does.

"I think he shouldn't come in and have that much pull like that," Young said. "He has to earn his keep."

Chris Kaman did not practice because of a stomach virus and Steve Nash was limited because of stomach issues, D'Antoni said. … The coach said he still did not know when Bryant might participate in his first practice since tearing his Achilles' tendon in April. … Young, on Bryant: "I didn't know he had a little sense of humor too. I thought he was just a robot."
